The verdict
The island's design benchmark — a restored 19th-century farmstead near Alaior, whitewashed and set among its own vineyards above the south coast, with sweeping views to the sea. Around 27 rooms of pared-back Menorcan cool, a lovely pool, and a kitchen and winery that pull travellers from across the island. Voted one of Spain's very best hotels, and it shows. It holds one MICHELIN Key.
Design lovers who want whitewashed Menorcan cool, a vineyard, a pool and sea views.
You want to step onto a beach from your room, or prefer grand and formal over pared-back and rustic-chic.
Book a room with a sea view, taste the estate's own wine, and time sunset from the pool terrace.
The rooms
Around 27 rooms and suites across the restored farm buildings, in a pared-back palette of whitewash, natural linen and Menorcan materials; many look over the vineyards to the sea. Understated, design-led and calm.
The setting
On a hillside among its own vineyards near Alaior, above Menorca's south coast, with a beautiful pool and long views to the Mediterranean. The south-coast beaches (Cala en Porter, Son Bou) and the towns of Maó and Alaior are a short drive.
The food
The restaurant cooks contemporary Menorcan cuisine built on local and estate produce, paired with the property's own wines; long lunches and sunset dinners on the terrace are the ritual.
Getting there
About 20 minutes from Menorca (Maó) airport and Maó itself; Alaior is ten minutes. A car is recommended; parking on site.
Good to know
One of the most celebrated hotels in Spain (a Condé Nast Traveller Readers' Choice favourite), largely seasonal, and design-led rather than grand. Come for the vineyard, the views and the aesthetic. It opens from May to October.
